Countless shops selling souvenirs, trinkets, clothes, household goods, and everything else, in an alleyway spanning 3 blocks from Calle Relox up to the Mercado Ignacio Ramírez.

It’s probably best to start at the bottom. The entrance is a bit hard to find, down a set of steps next to the Media Naranja restaurant. This is a short, easy walk from the Centro.

Tourists should definitely check it out. It’s open daily, roughly 9am to 7pm.
